  • What is corn germ oil processing by-products?
  • Corn (Zea mays L.) is one of the most relevant and cultivated cereals. During the processing of corn, especially in obtaining edible oil, large quantities of by-products are generated, called corn germ oil processing by-products. In this sense, this chapter provides...
  • How is corn germ isolated from starch?
  • During the wet milling process, the germ is isolated from the starch using cyclone separators, washed, and dried. The dried germ contains about 50% oil, in which the oil constitutes about 85% of the total amount of oil present in the corn.
  • What percentage of corn kernel oil is stored in corn germ?
  • Typically, the crude oil of corn kernel (4%) is almost stored in corn germ and the entire germ mainly contains oil (48%), protein (13%), and starch (12%). However, the recovery germ composition in oil (18%¨C41%), protein (12%¨C21%) and starch (6%¨C21%) is also influenced by growing conditions, genetic factors, and isolation methods .
  • What is solvent extraction of corn germ?
  • Solvent extraction of corn germ is the process of greater industrial use because it allows the effective extraction of practically all the corn oil leaving a defatted germ meal with less than 1% residual oil.
  • What is corn germ oil?
  • Most of the commercial corn oil is extracted from the germ and this is commonly known as ¡°corn germ oil.¡± The germ from wet-milling operations (see Chapter 18) is recovered with up to 50% oil, which must be quickly processed because of its low microbiological and chemical stability.
  • How is kernel oil determined?
  • The kernel oil content is determined mainly by the percentage of oil in the germ and mainly by the ratio that the germ occupies in the caryopsis. Most of the commercial corn oil is extracted from the germ and this is commonly known as ¡°corn germ oil.¡±
